Anyway, after all that, after all this Vuitton Damier Geat Canvas M58038(Coffee) of a modest Christmas, Teresa turned to Joe and said "So I guess no diamonds this Christmas, huh?" and Joe just shrugged his shoulders and fell asleep right there, so tired was he from lying on the couch and lazily videotaping everyone, and Teresa said "No, it's OK, really, I don't need diamonds." But of course she needs diamonds. She needs diamonds so badly I hear she's going on an Vuitton Damier Graphite Billfold N61711 to the Congo with Laura Linney and Tim Roth she needs diamonds so badly. "Di-a-monds!!!" - Teresa Giudice/Medusa. Sad story, Teresa. Sad story. OK, let's see. The Manzos. Yes, there are other people on this show other than the Gs. (Oh Cousin Kathy's kids got her a laptop to help her start her catering business and said nice things to her and she cried and it was nice.) Caroline and Albert gave their kids the ForeverBraceletz? they'd had made for them, and everyone Vuitton Damier Graphite Canvas Computer Sleeve 13 Inches N they were real, real nice. Lauren Manzo cried like a girl, because she's a girl, and everyone was happy. Then the next day at the Laurita/Manzo household, we saw the little boys get a new go-kart and choo-choo train, so they were pretty excited about that. Obviously Bouffant/Hat didn't get a present because she got her car, but then the most horrible thing was revealed! Vuitton Damier Graphite Canvas Computer Sleeve 15 Inches N didn't get a present for her mom (or step-dad)! For Christmas! Oh my god. Surely there must be a good reason, right? Take it away, Bouffant: "I know it might seem weird that I didn't get my mom a Christmas present, but... I spent a lot of money on my car and... I just didn't, so..." GOOD EXPLANATION YOU HORRIBLE BRATMONSTER.
Then, hilariously, it was time for Teresa Vuitton Damier Geant Canvas Messager NM M93226(Coffee) open her gifts. First she got some gloves and she liked the gloves. Then she got some sort of weird fur bathrobe that was, like Melissa's microphone should have been, jewel-encrusted? It was some sort of jewel-encrusted fur bath coat? It was very strange and Vuitton Damier Geant Canvas Messenger M93030(earth) said "It's nice..." as convincingly as she could, meaning not convincingly at all, and Joe said "Are you gonna exchange it?" and Teresa told us that Joe always thinks Teresa exchanges things, even though it only happened a couple of times. To illustrate she told us some story about Joe getting her a beige Louis Vuitton bag, which she of course exchanged Vuitton Damier Geant Canvas SOUVERAIN M93015(earth) no one wants a beige Louis Vuitton bag, they want a silver one, and we were once again reminded that of the many, many terrible things that Sex and the City did to us (and I loved that show) was teach idiots and nouveau riche and other déclassé people the names of designers. Oh god, wasn't that the worst thing? When idiots started droning on about Fendi and Louis and Vuitton Damier Geant Viktor M30142 and all that? Ugh, and then some of them, the ones on reality shows, learned the word "media" and all hell broke loose. These people have somehow managed to make some of the top design houses in fashion seem tacky. Sorry Gucci! Sorry Christian Louboutin! Sorry Jaclyn Smith for Kmart! You've been ruined. Blame these people.
" Joe blinked at her and said "I got Vuitton Damier Geant Canvas Couguar M93083(earth) the blinged watch." And Melissa replied "Oh, I know, but I wanted that jewel-encrusted microphone. I guess I'll have to jewel-encrust this obe." Because that will help the singing. The jewels will really help. And here's my thing with the recording studio. So let's say she finds some producers to work with. Don't producers tend to want to work in their own studios, where they Vuitton Damier Geant Canvas Loup M93077(earth) all the equipment they like? Not some random suburban basement studio built by people who don't know anything about building recording studios? "Welcome to my recording studio, Pharrell Williams. As you can see, I've got my jewel-encrusted microphone over here, and here we have our tapedeck. Will you be needing anything else?" (Note: I originally wrote Scott Storch instead of Pharrell Williams, but then I remembered that Scott Storch has a fascinating but ultimately tragic story.) Vuitton Damier Geant Canvas Loup M93079(black) just doesn't seem right! Maybe if they can get the Bruce Dickinson in there as a consultant, he can tell them what cool equipment to buy and Kathy's funny little son can be their record producer. I'd like to see that episode, please! So that was the Gorgas' Christmas. Over at the Giudices', Teresa was telling us a tale about how she and her hubby, who really, really didn't want to get out of bed — I think he was molto hungover from Xmas Eve — had agreed to really Vuitton Damier Geant Canvas Messager NM M93225(Black) it low-key this Christmas, what with the fact that they're bankrupt and all. Ha, but apparently a low-key Christmas involves giving your kids a Mercedes PowerWheels and having your tiny baby daughter shriek "Look at my Uggs!" Apparently that's a pretty chillax Christmas. I mean, there were so many presents. Just so many.
If she was being foreal, that was a Vuitton Damier Geant Canvas Citadin Pm M93043(earth) and understanding thing for her to say; hey if you wanted to stay at your sister's, I would have understood. If it wasn't foreal, if she actually would have been upset that the Gorgons didn't come to her Christmas Eve but was saying she wouldn't have been, well Vuitton Damier Geant Canvas Citadin Pm M93044(black) stop being a jerk Kathy! But I dunno. I can't get worked up by that. I mean, can I get worked up about anything? These past few episodes have been so mild. Everyone is being mostly nice and mostly not fighting and it's just sorta ho-hum. I mean, there were some funny moments during present opening. The Gorgons showered each other with elaborate gifts. The tiny children got an old-timey popcorn maker (what all kids want) and various enormous toys and whatnot. Meanwhile the older child, Vuitton Damier Geant Canvas Compagnon M93045(earth), got a fancy piece of luggage that she immediately let crash to the ground. She got some enormous gold watch that was on the tree ("You got me the gold Rolex!!" she said, because all these people can think about is brands, the naming and identifying of brands) and then Joe was like "I got one moah sooprize" and he took her downstairs blindfolded and murdered her showed her the new recording studio. Which, good present. But am I really to believe that in the whole Vuitton Damier Geant Canvas Compagnon M93047(black) they were building this elaborate recording studio, Melissa never went into the basement? I just don't believe that! But anyway, she did a decent job of sacing surprised for the cameras and then she looked at the mic she'll be warbling into and she said "Aw honey you didn't get the blinged one.
Teresa wanted everyone to stay, so she took her Vuitton Damier Geant Canvas Citadin M93042(black) to the dining room and showed him that she had places set for him, but he remained resolute and said that no, no, he had promised Kathy. Teresa frowned and said that Kathy was a bad cousin or something, because she should encourage Joe to stay with his sister, and you kind of expected some sort of Kathy-related fight to start, but then... it didn't! It didn't start. Instead everyone said mostly pleasant goodbyes and made plans to see each other next week (Papa Gorgon Vuitton Damier Geant Canvas Citadin M93222(Coffee) Melissa and Joe for not being around when he came by, three times, and Melissa was like "Call us first!" and Papa Gorgon said no and you realized that he'd been showing up at their house assuming they'd be there? Is that what was going on?) and that was that. Teresa huffed a sad Teresa huff and handed her nieces and nephew their (enormous) presents and they left. Snow fell. Teresa sighed. She shut the enormous doors to her marble mansion and that was Christmas Eve for her. The Gorgons drove through the night, mostly pleased with how the Giudice visit had gone. When they arrived at Vuitton Damier Geant Canvas Citadin M93223(Balck), though, they told us that they now finally felt relaxed, everything felt easy at Kathy's, the way family should feel easy. There was an enormous fried sea bass lying, head and all, on the table. Jerf Goldblum was there, Jerfing around. And Kathy had laid out an elaborate spread of treats and sweet desserts for everyone to nibble. True Christmas feelings! Melissa said that she'd really like it if everyone could be together, Gorgons and Giudices and Goldblums Vuitton Damier Geant Canvas Citadin NM M93224 Mens Bag (bl all, but that it was just not meant to be this Christmas. Maybe next Christmas, if we're not all dead. (We will all be dead.) Joe talked to Kathy and she said "Well, I hope that if you wanted to stay, you didn't just do it for me," and I couldn't tell if she was being foreal or not.
The cold, sweet drink, made from Vuitton 0384 hand-picked during the winter in Ontario's Niagara wine region and in British Columbia's Okanagan Valley, is considered a luxury beverage worldwide. It first dazzled the Japanese, then the South Koreans and now it's poised to do the same to Chinese consumers, said Randy Dufour of Vincor Canada, who handles exports for Vuitton 0385 No. 1 icewine producer, Inniskillin, which entered the Chinese market 10 years ago. Dufour has been travelling to China since 1995. He says he's seen dramatic changes through the years, with icewine starting out as a gift item, and now becoming a drink consumed at dinner Vuitton 0386 along with the French grand cru."During the trade shows in the 1990s, the Chinese were more interested in my POS system than the Vuitton 0387. They were fascinated by anything Western," Dufour said. "The middle-class is emerging and they see wine as part of that image of wealth."
